Are Caspar and Emma still together?

She wrote: 'And we’re hitched. 🥰 The support has been overwhelming, thank you thank you thank you!! Don’t we look fab 😍😍 @casparinthecountry the Winston to my Bridget 😂 just hoping the nervous cackle will subside?! Cannot wait to see our next couples this evening 🥹 #mafs #mafsuk'. (sic)
What happened on their wedding day?
Caspar and Emma were the second couple matched together by the experts, with their wedding airing during the first episode on Monday 13th September.
Whilst Emma seemed thrilled with her husband at the altar and during the ceremony, even getting a long very well with his sister, Caspar wasn't as convinced, airing his worries to his family and the camera.
Caspar voiced his concerns that Emma reminded him too much of his sister Daisy, who he has had a mixed relationship with in the past.

What happened on their honeymoon?
Following their wedding, Emma and Caspar headed off to Jamaica on their honeymoon.
After having initial concerns about his instant attraction towards his new wife, Caspar decided to let Emma know how he was feeling, admitting he hasn't felt an instant spark. He said: "I've been struggling, I don't know if you've felt it. But I haven't felt that spark I was hoping to feel."
After asking what she'd done to make him feel that way, Caspar admitted she has a lot of similarities to his sister, adding: "Watching you and her laugh together, there's an element and sort of mannerisms - I'm equating one with the other and it's not good."
The conversation between the pair soon turned into what 'type' Caspar usually goes for, with Caspar shockingly saying: "I've rarely gone for the curvier person," leaving Emma in complete shock.
Hitting back at his harsh remarks, 31-year-old Emma told her husband: "If you didn't think I was sexy in my f---ing wedding dress and my gorgeous bikini today, I don't know what hope there is.
"But what we're here to do is look beyond that and what you need to do is look beyond that because my personality, my confidence should help you be more confident and you should see qualities bigger than my clothes size.
"You need to work on your view of women."
Later on in the episode, Caspar and Emma sat down for another chat, where Emma told him he could have phrased his wording a little better. She said: "I'm a size 14, I'm not a f---ing monster."
A frustrated Caspar then walked away from Emma, asking the camera crew to 'cut' filming.
After spending the night apart, the pair met up once again the next morning, where they both revealed they were open to carrying on the journey, admitting they both want things to work out.

Lacey and Nathan - SPLIT
Are Lacey and Nathan still together?
Lacey or Nathan split after things fizzled out when filming ended. Speaking about the split to Yahoo!, Nathan revealed it was Lacey who ended things. "Whilst I was hugely disappointed by the break up, and heartbroken, I respected her decision to part ways and I have nothing but love and good wishes for her.
Wedding and honeymoon:
Things didn't get off to the best of starts during the couple's wedding, when Nathan accidentally said "wow" when he saw Lacey's twin sister, not realising she wasn't the woman he was about to marry. Lacey wasn't then best pleased when Nathan described her as looking "nice" when he saw her for the first time at the altar.
Despite getting on well during their honeymoon, Lacey had a few reservations over Nathan's emotional intelligence, after she spoke to him about losing people close to her in a car crash. After having a chat about her feelings, Nathan opened up about having ADHD, and apologised for the way he reacted. Nathan later told her he does have emotional maturity and reassured her she can speak to him about anything.
On return to the UK, the pair moved in to their apartment together and attended the first dinner party hand-in-hand.
First commitment ceremony:
The pair were quick to tell the experts how much they are enjoying each other's company, admitting they are already the best of friends.

Both Lacey and Nathan chose to stay in the experiment for the final week.
Final vows:
Although Lacey confessed she had a few worries over Nathan's ability to fully communicate his feelings, these two went into the vow renewal ceremony in a really good place.

The pair left the experiment looking totally loved-up.

However, after hearing Ross' words, Sacha chose to stay to try and save their relationship.
Final vows:
The pair went into the vow renewal with worries about where they'd live, with Sacha revealing if Ross wouldn't move to Walsall things wouldn't work out. After hearing the first part of Ross' vows, Sacha broke down in tears and was forced to walk off set, but she later returned to hear Ross reveal he would be willing to move for her.

Despite this, after a pep talk from her bridesmaids, Amy revealed to Luke she's never been with a gentleman before so she was a little taken-a-back by his kind behaviour.
The pair jetted of to The Bahamas for their honeymoon, where things went very well for the two. After being able to get to know each other on a deeper level, Amy and Luke shared a kiss during a romantic dinner, the perfect end to a perfect honeymoon.

Second commitment ceremony:

Despite Amy being left a little uncomfortable during Luke's sexual comments at the pottery class, the pair actually had a really good Love/Hate week, where they were able to discuss their feelings deeper. The couple both chose to stay for another week.
Final commitment ceremony:
Home Stays week was a complete disaster for Amy and Luke, with constant arguments resulting in Luke taking his ring off in front of Amy's friends and declaring he was single.

Following their chat, Amy chose to leave the experiment, but due to Luke wanting to stay the pair remained for the final week.
Final vows:
Despite a rough final few weeks of the experiment, Amy and Luke had put their rings back on and things did seem to improve between the pair.

However, Holly was concerned about telling Alex that she is a mum-of-two. Holly broke the news as they were getting their photographs taken, with Alex admitting it wouldn't be his preference due to not having any experience as being a dad. He did however tell Holly's friend it's something which wouldn't be a problem if he fell in love with Holly, and later admitted to Holly sees the pair working out, before presenting her with a huge bunch of red roses.
The pair headed of to The Maldives on their honeymoon, where they endured a fiery argument early on after Holly wasn't happy her husband chose to sleep when they first arrived.
